Having wandered around i now see why this city is the city of museums they are at every turn! After leaving the palace national i stumbled across a museum seemingly hidden across the road. It seemed like a door going to nowhere with just a guard out the front waving me through. still not nowing where to go i went upstairs in hope that i was going the right way and found the first floor with lots of beautiful sculptures, mostly of jaguars and abstract forms, was really struck me was each piece was allowed so much space, havent seen a gallery so spread out allowing each form to have their own space and not on top of each so you can appreciate each on its own.
Downstairs i was a quite shocking exhbition of death which seemed quite visceral. I didnt any photos of this space as found it abit grotesque. The entrance had sculptured life like babies bodies at all stages of foetal develpment, most with huge graphic mishapen details or birth defects. This was quite confronting, along with that paintings of many distressed women, interesting to see once but i wont be hurrying back anytime soon.
Next stop the Museo Del Bellas Artes huge, white building with beautiful domes on top. They had a selection of murals on each level, where i found the my most favourite painting so far by Jorge gonzalez camarena "liberacion la humanoid se libera, it seemed to have elements of futurism & cubism, my two most favourite art movements & was so huge! I love that so much of the art i have seen here is focused on murals, taking up not just a little frame, but a whole wall.
